Unlocking Why Leadership Is Lonelier For Women With Lindsay Pinchuk

Why does leadership feel lonelier for women and what does community actually fix?

In this episode of Unlocked, host Skot Waldron sits down with award-winning entrepreneur and Dear FoundHer... founder Lindsay Pinchuk to unpack why the right community changes everything for women leaders and founders over 40. They dig into the mental load women carry at home while leading at work, why burnout from corporate America is pushing women into entrepreneurship, and the simple but powerful difference between having a network and having real people in your corner.

Lindsay shares her journey from building Bump Club and Beyond (a community-driven brand she sold after scaling to millions), to creating a top 0.5% podcast and mentorship program for women business owners. Plus, she offers a dead-simple strategy for anyone, male or female who feels like they haven't found their people yet.
